Summary:	Replacement Project Manager with support for multiple users and user interface enhancements. Integration with the other released GKK Tools that include the GKK Comparison Tool (forms, classes, tables, procedures, databases), GKK Form Editor, GKK Menu Editor, and GKK Procedure Editor.

The GKK Project Manager provides more functionality than the standard project manager:

1. Rename of project objects (forms, classes,
etc.)
2. Easier navigation to project functions
(rename, set of main, etc.)
3. Highlight capability of individual project
objects (color code)
4. Multiple users can simultaneously open the
project file for group work
5. Project and Global search tools (similar to
code reference tool but much faster)
6. Release notes editor (saved with project)
7. Enhanced information in the lower panel of
the project manager for a selected project
object
8. Tables can be expanded to show columns and
indexes
9. Integration with the GKK Editors (double-click
will launch editor of user choice; either GKK
or standard VFP editor)
10. Enhanced form for compilation of application
11. Printing of project object lists

Functions under development:

1. Project file object move (move tables, dbc, forms,
etc. to new directory location)
2. Version control
3. Print functions
4. Where-used of project objects
5. Project object copy
6. Missing file search (scan forms, classes and
procedures for file references not in project file)

The GKK Project Manager defines its own project file structure but will open a standard project and create from it a new GKK project file. The standard project file is only used for compiling the application and no changes to it are made except during project compile (new files are added or existing files are removed if no longer in project).

This tool is still in testing and development.
